Hi all,

I'm wondering - I'm looking to simplify my Xen DomU installation via a
kickstart file...

As my Xen config has /dev/xvda - which should be formatted as ext4 and
used as / - is there any options that I can achieve this?

Just about everything I've stumbled across does partitioning first - and
not the entire disk. Without supplying a kickstart file, the installer
will bail saying no disks found.

It's been this way for MANY years, but I heard rumours of a magical
kickstart option - but I can't seem to find it...
